How it works
Following an introduction email and discussion, an appointment will be carried out online via video call.
Who do we work with?1. Free consultation
Get in touch with us for an informal chat about any concerns with your speech and language skills. We will ask you to complete a form before advising on the next steps.
2. Initial Assessment
We start with an assessment to evaluate your current speech and language skills. This is followed with a report summarising your strengths and weaknesses.
3. Report and recommendations
We will recommend next steps based on your initial assessment. In some cases, further therapy may be required to support your speech and language development.
4. Therapy sessions
We plan a range of activities, exercises and games designed to target your therapy goals. Parents, partners and other key people are encouraged to take part in the sessions.
